Glam Gets New Venture Round: Why So Hot for VC's? Steve Jurvetson Explains
One of the fastest growing media sites is Glam, a site for women that is quickly expanding globally. Today, the company announced new venture capital investment for expansion into Japan.
David Kaplan at paidContent has the story of the super-hot media start-up.
I interviewed Steve Jurvetson, managing director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson and an early investor in Glam last summer at Stanford. He explained why the site is so appealing and fast-growing.
